Summary

The Services, Climate and Communities Overview and Scrutiny Committee of Cambridge City Council is scheduled to meet on 7 October 2025 to discuss community engagement, weed management, and its work programme. The meeting will cover how the council involves residents in local democracy, and a programme to manage weeds without using herbicides. The committee will also discuss and plan its future work.

Local Communities and Democratic Engagement

The committee is scheduled to discuss a report on Community Engagement and Democratic Involvement. The report pack includes two appendices: Appendix 1 and the New Local Report (Appendix 2).

The report is expected to focus on ways to improve how the council connects with and involves local people in decision-making.

Herbicide Free Weed Management Work Programme

The committee is scheduled to discuss a report on the Herbicide Free Weed Management Work Programme. This programme likely details the council's approach to managing weeds without using chemical herbicides, which aligns with environmental and health concerns.

Work Programme

The committee is scheduled to review and discuss its work programme. This is likely a forward-looking agenda, outlining the topics and projects the committee plans to focus on in the coming months.
